God speed the good ship "Caroline,"
AS on her cruise she steams away,
May she be steered by hand divine,
And sail the seas for many day.
From Honolulu's balmy air.
As northward OH her course she goes,
We hope she'll meet with weather fair
And cheer from every wind that blows
Sir William, Officers and crew.
Take with you wishes good, from all,
Who hope in future to renew
Acquaintance when you next may call.
And when on arctic waters born,
We trust some recollections dear
OF calm Hawaii's breaking morn,
May to your memories appear.
For we will ever keep in mind,
As long as genial sun shall shine.
Bright recollections of--and kind
Sir William and the 'Carolinc.'

him the boat was sold and no more,
he certainly lacked that gentlemanly
discretion of character so essential

public affairs granted to no other
class of individuals, the violation of
which is unbecoming any man.
Now it is not that l care so much

SILK PAINTING.

A magnificent specimen of "sills
painting" of Diamond Head, by DIR.
McAllister, was shown a reporter
yesterday. The Doctor has used
colors as near perfect as colors can
be, the stitches are hardly percep-
tible, and the formation of the Head
and of the cocoanut trees is ex-
tremely neat. The Doctor has begun
"silk painting" of the Volcano,
taken from pictures by MIR. Taver-
nier, but is compelled to Temporal
rily suspend operations for want of
proper cOlors.

SUPREME C0URT---lN BANC0.
IN RE APPLICATION OF NJ. BRITTO FOR
A WRIT OF IIABEAS CORPUS
OPINION OF THE COURT BY
CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD.

The case comes to an open ques-
ton reserved by Mr.. Justice Pres
ton as follows:
1st Does the mittimus disclose
any offense for which the prisoner
may be punished?
End If yes, is the punishment
inflicted on the prisoner legal under
the statute of last session of the
Legislature regulating the importa-
ton and sale of opium?
The mittimus in question is from
the Police Court of Honolulu dated
10Th March, 1887. 1t is entitled in
the usual way, addressed to the
Marshal and recites that, whereas
Manuel BrittO has this day been
convicted in our Police Court of
Honolulu, Island of Oahu, for the
offense of having opium unlawfully
in possession contrary to Section A
of Session Laws of 1886, approved
October Is, 1886, and upon convic-
ton thereof the said Court did adj
Judge and determined that he should
be imprisoned at hard labor for the
term of two years and also should
pay fine of 81 900 etc.
The question is whether Sec. A of
the Act entitled an Act to regulate
the importation and sale of opium
in this Kingdom discloses any offense
for which the prisoner may be
punished.
The section reads as follows:
''Every person not having q
license who shall have possession of
any opium contrary to the provis-
sions of Section 3 of this Act, or
who shall sell or furnish any opium
or any preparation of opium to any
person or persons, contrary TO law
shall upon conviction thereof he
fined in a sum of not less than one
thousand dollars, nor more than five
thousand and be imprisoned at hard
labor for any term not more than ten
years nor less than two years"
The principle that penal statutes
are to be construed strictly, and are
never to be extended by implication,
has been repeatedly affirmed by
this Court. Dwarris expresses it in
this way: "The general words OF
penal statute shall be restrained
for the benefit of him against whom
the penalty of the law Is inflicted
Potter's Dwarris p. 245.
II is urged upon us that the Ac
under consideration Is revenue Law
that its object is to subject opium
for sale by licensed dealer unde
certain restrictions and that it il
not a penal law, and therefore thu
rule of construction above referred
to does not apply.
We think otherwise. Section
authorizes the imposition Of none.
penalty whose minimum is 81, 00
and whose maximum is $4,000 an,
Imprisonment at hard labor for an,
term not more than ten years no
less than two years.
BY our law felony is defined Il
mean such offenses as are punish
able with death or Imprisonment fo
a longer period than two years, @
by the forfeiture Of any civil G
political right and also larceny
Penal Code, Chapter |, Section 2.
We can see no reason why q stf
tute which creates felony cannt
be considered Il penal statute
which the above mentioned rules
construction must apply.
The words of Section which al
put before us as describing ii

person not hdCtng license acho

trary 10 the provisions Of Section 3
of this act shall upon

is essential in the first place that
the person shall not have q
"license." Does the license in
tended here mean the vendors
license by which he is authorized to
import and sell opium? Or does it
refer to one of the two "licenses,'
mentioned in Section Z Of the Act,
i. e., q license from the Marshal or
the license from a physician? Up
to Section 4 of the Act the only
license spoken of is the vendors
license and we take it that this
must be the license intended to be
meant. TO his conviction, it is
necessary, secondly, that he have
possession of opium, and thirdly,
that such possession shall be con-
trary to the provisions of Section 3.
Now, Section 8 prescribes that
the person holding such license q.
e., the licensed vendor) shall (1)
keep in book of record the names
of all persons to whom he has sold
any opium, with the (a) date of
sale, the (b) quantity of opium
sold, the (c) name of the physician
issuing the certificate on which the
sale is made, and (d) the date of
such certificate.
CD Such record book shall be
kept (by the licensee) in the Eng
lish and Hawaiian languages and
shall be open to inspection of the
police and the Minister of Interior.
(3) The licensee shall give each
purchaser of opium receipt stating
the date of such purchase and the
quantity of opium sold.
Each 'provision" of this Section
is one devolving some duty upon
the licensed vendor. Not one of
them refers to the purchaser, nor
creates any duty for him to dis
charge or any line of action for him
to follow. "a statute law is rule
of conduct prescribed by the law
making power in an express and
positive form-and which controls
the particular case and circum-
stances to which it relates"
Potter's Dwarris, p. 3S.
Now unless q law prescribes q
rule of conduct no one can be pun
ished for n deviation from it.
"The certainty of the law is next
to Importance to its justice" says
Dwarris on p. 81.
1t is abhorrent to Justice to
punish man unless the offense for
which he is sought to be punished
is clearly defined by the law and
his duty in respect thereto made
certain.
1t is our duty to give effect to
this law if it is possible. But we are
not to make penal statute where
none exists.
We find that this section OF the
statute Of 1886, does not define the
possession of opium as punishable
offensc, and there being no law au.
thorizing the detention of the pri.
soner we order his discharge.
